Corinnie D. Broadway, a 21-year-old African American woman, was tragically killed on June 7, 2008, in Raleigh, North Carolina. Broadway was found dead inside her apartment at 2124-205 Larson Drive by Raleigh police responding to a call about shots fired. Friends of Broadway revealed that she had recently discovered she was pregnant, and an autopsy later confirmed this. Broadway was a student at Shaw University until the previous fall and had aspirations of obtaining a degree in social work.
The primary suspect in Broadway's murder was Khaleel A. Oyeneyin, a 22-year-old African American man who was believed to be Broadway's boyfriend and the father of her unborn child. A murder warrant was issued for Oyeneyin, and police launched a search for him. Oyeneyin was accused of killing Broadway because of her pregnancy. He was last seen driving a white 1995 Lexus GS 300 with North Carolina license plate number XNM-5900.
On June 24, 2008, U.S. Marshals captured Oyeneyin in New York City's Queens borough. He was taken into custody by the New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force. The investigation revealed that Broadway and Oyeneyin knew each other, and friends confirmed that they were in a relationship. Broadway's friends and neighbors reported hearing gunshots on the night of her death and called 911. Broadway died at the scene, and her cause of death was withheld by the authorities.
Broadway's tragic death and the subsequent arrest of Oyeneyin brought attention to the case, highlighting the impact of domestic violence and the importance of seeking justice for victims. The case remains a somber reminder of the need for continued efforts to address and prevent such tragedies.
